Not far from the artificial lake, tourists were taking a cruise ship from the left bank to the right bank. The lake was sparkling, and golden light spots were scattered all over the lake.
Zhou Jichen, Qin Ye, Meng Meng, and Su Yuwei sat side by side by the lake. The four of them made exactly the same movements, with their elbows supporting their knees and their palms resting on their cheeks.
"Well... let's do this. I'll call Teacher Yu and ask him to help me deal with some school matters. Then, you guys come home with me and I'll make you something delicious." Qin Ye's eyes turned to Zhou Jichen, then to Mengmeng and Su Yuwei.
"Good!" Mengmeng was the first to applaud.
Su Yuwei asked weakly, "Can I also go and eat the ready-made food?"
"You can't do this, you have to help me cook!" Qin Ye glared at Su Yuwei, who spread his hands and accepted his fate.
So, the four of them took the subway to Qin Ye's home.
Mengmeng accompanied Zhou Jichen in the living room to play flying chess, while Su Yuwei helped Qin Ye in the kitchen.
The sound of water splashing into the vegetable basin, Su Yuwei gently kneaded the potato shreds, turned her head and looked at Qin Ye who was busy. Qin Ye slightly bent his body, concentrating on cutting meat, a few strands of hair slid down her forehead, she stretched out her hand to get rid of them, but forgot that there was some oil on her hands.
Su Yuwei pulled his hands out of the sink, wiped them clean on his body, and walked over to tie Qin Ye's loose hair back up. Qin Ye was stunned, and didn't dare to move as Su Yuwei tied his hair up.
Finally, Su Yuwei stood behind Qin Ye, leaned close to her and whispered, "It's like you live as a family."
Qin Ye's ears felt hot, and he hurriedly said, "Go wash the vegetables!"
"Yes, go wash the vegetables." Su Yuwei repeated Qin Ye's words lovingly, and turned around obediently to continue washing the vegetables.
"Teacher Qin, the meal is ready." Mengmeng's voice came from outside the house. Qin Ye was about to go out, but Su Yuwei asked her to wait and he would be there soon. Su Yuwei opened the rice cooker and the aroma of rice immediately hit him. He closed the cover again, unplugged it, and went back to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks for four people.
"Hurry up and wash your hands. Teacher Qin's dishes will be ready soon and we can eat them." Su Yuwei said to Zhou Jichen and Mengmeng like a father educating his children. Mengmeng and Zhou Jichen quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wash their hands, and then waited obediently at the dining table.
Seeing Su Yuwei wearing a pink apron and placing the dishes one by one, Mengmeng thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Teacher Su, are you in a relationship with Teacher Qin?"
Su Yuwei made a silent gesture to Mengmeng and said mysteriously: "This is a little secret."
"It's still a little secret." Zhou Jichen ruthlessly said, "I think you haven't succeeded in pursuing Teacher Qin yet?"
"You little brat!" Su Yuwei pretended to hit someone to scare Zhou Jichen, but Zhou Jichen was not afraid at all. Mengmeng laughed happily and said, "Hahaha, if Teacher Su likes Teacher Qin, we can help you."
"Really, how can you help me?" Su Yuwei half-lying on the table, asked curiously.
Qin Ye coughed behind him, and Su Yuwei quickly stood up and pretended to teach the two children at the table a lesson, saying, "Well, you performed very well, but wait for Teacher Qin to come and eat together."
"Stop talking nonsense and serve the dishes." Qin Ye's voice urged, and Su Yuwei hurried to the kitchen to bring up the remaining two dishes.
Meng Meng secretly smiled at Zhou Jichen and said, "Teacher Su is so afraid of Teacher Qin."
How could Su Yuwei not be afraid? Qin Ye was the girl he had been pursuing throughout his youth. She was a priceless treasure in his heart, so he naturally had to cherish, protect and obey her.
Everyone enjoyed the meal today, especially Zhou Jichen. After dinner, Zhou Jichen and Mengmeng took a nap on the sofa. Qin Ye and Su Yuwei sat on both sides of the sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa and squinting. The four of them were covered with two blankets, just like a family. After the nap, Zhou Jichen and Mengmeng naturally had to go home. Before Zhou Jichen left, Qin Ye gave him a few words, and he remembered them well before leaving. Qin Ye asked him to call her if he had any problems when he got home.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual that night.
This winter, Su Yuwei and Qin Ye are going to go home for the New Year. They made an appointment with Fatty Lin, but Fatty Lin said he was too busy at work and couldn't go back. As soon as Qin Ye got on Su Yuwei's SUV, Fatty Lin and Juzi appeared in the cinema with popcorn in their hands.
They all left in pairs, only Dan Xiaotian stayed at home alone, playing games or just staring blankly. He always felt that something was missing in his heart.
So, he went to the Pirate Bar to find Zhang Ao. After all, Zhang Ao was alone, and it was better for two equally lonely people to be together than for one person to be alone, right? But they all forgot that it was not Dan Xiaotian and Zhang Ao who were more lonely.
Instead, Cheng Miao, who had dragged the luggage she brought with her, got on the train back home, dragging the same luggage with her.
Her home is in the north, and she has to travel for more than 20 hours alone. As for whether she will come to Ancheng after the New Year, she has not thought about it. If Qin Ye also likes Su Yuwei, she has no chance of winning.
Knowing that there was no chance of winning, she didn't want to try.
After winter, it is a new year. Time is passing faster and faster now. If you can't cherish it, it will disappear. When I was a child, the things I had to think about in life were very simple, so I felt that time was like a staggering old man. But as I grew up, there were more and more things to do and more and more problems to think about. At this time, I realized that time was not enough.
It's a new year and a new semester, and Zhou Jichen is no different from usual. Qin Ye asks him how things are going with his family, and Zhou Jichen says it's just so-so.
In the blink of an eye, Dan Xiaotian graduated from university and found his own job. He held a celebration party at the Pirate Bar and invited old friends to join him.
In the Pirate Bar, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Shan Xiaotian, but Shan Xiaotian smiled helplessly: "There's nothing to congratulate, it's not my own ability to find it, it's my mother's."
"At least you have your mother to rely on, unlike us, who can't even find anyone to rely on." Juzi shook his head and sighed. Zhang Ao frowned and pointed at Juzi and said, "Juzi, you are being disloyal. You obviously have Fatty Lin to rely on."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at them with interest.
Because they were both in Ancheng, Zhang Ao secretly saw Fatty Lin and Juzi dating several times. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Fatty Lin held the slightly shy Juzi's hand and announced with an embarrassed face: "Well, sorry, I wanted to say it later. I... I'm with Juzi."
Everyone immediately held Fatty Lin and refused to let go, asking when they had been together and what methods Fatty Lin used to pursue Ju Zi. Fatty Lin was a little embarrassed by the teasing, he stood in the middle of the room, pointed at his chest, and said with a smile: "Be careful, you can pursue her if you are careful."
When he said this, Su Yuwei and Qin Ye looked at each other at the same time. When their eyes met, Qin Ye quickly looked away.
Shan Xiaotian sighed and became distressed: "There are too few girls among us. Isn't this destined that the other two will be single?" After saying that, he looked at Qin Ye pitifully, "Sister Qin Ye... Teacher Qin... Have you thought about it? Who do you choose among the three of us?"
Three people? Zhang Ao pointed at Su Yuwei, then at Shan Xiaotian, then at himself. Was he also included?
Juzi covered for Qin Ye and said, "You don't choose anyone, Xiaoye chooses me."
"That's not fair, you have Fatty Lin." Shan Xiaotian shouted.
"Is there anything absolutely fair in the world?" Orange asked unconvinced.
Qin Ye smiled but said nothing. He drank some wine and said, "Juzi is right. I choose her."
Juzi sat down and hugged Qin Ye, rubbing against him intentionally, and said proudly: "I said our Xiaoye would choose me."
Dan Xiaotian grinned and waved his hand in disdain, saying, "Yes, that's great!"
No one spoke anymore, just drinking and playing.
Everyone knows that no matter what happens, when the time comes, it will be arranged. Nothing can be forced, just like Fatty Lin and Orange, no one knows they are together, but it just happens naturally.
Dan Xiaotian was assigned to work in one of the top 100 companies in the country. The work kept him busy and gradually matured. When they were all busy, they seldom went to Zhang Ao's place.
The people in Zhang Ao's bar are always changing. There are only two types of people who go there. One is the young people, and the other is the rich people. Therefore, the old ones always leave and the new ones come. Qin Ye once asked Zhang Ao if he wanted to run the bar like this for the rest of his life?
Zhang Ao answered her, why not?
Others always think that people in bars can only see the unbridled and corrupt side of the crowd, but Zhang Ao sees the happiest and saddest side of the crowd. Zhang Ao doesn't know how long he can bear such extreme emotions. If one day he can't do it anymore, he will use the money he earns to open an inn in the scenic area, and then watch people coming and going and listen to their stories.
This is also good.
Everyone has their own life. The most important thing is to be yourself and have a clear conscience.
Qin Ye is still a Chinese teacher at Baihe Primary School. She taught Zhou Jichen's class from the second grade to the third grade, and then from the third grade to the fourth grade. Now they are in the fifth grade and have undergone subtle changes. Qin Ye feels that it is also a proud thing to see her students grow up slowly.
As for myself, it’s no longer that important.
Juzi often asked Qin Ye, you and Su Yuwei both knew that the other liked you, but why did you both remain silent and keep silent?
Qin Ye thought that she and Su Yuwei had formed a silent tacit understanding, a tacit understanding that did not require them to tell each other in person: "I like you."
Juzi was speechless. Perhaps everyone accepts feelings differently, but if Qin Ye and Su Yuwei are not sure about their relationship, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble. What if Dan Xiaotian comes to confess his love to her one day? What if Cheng Miao returns to Ancheng and treats Su Yuwei with all her passion?
After listening to Ju Zi's concerns, Qin Ye smiled and said, "If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. If the two of them are really together, can all these be avoided?"
The answer is obvious, no.
Qin Ye was not in a hurry, and neither was Su Yuwei. They enjoyed staying by each other's side. The waiting that both of them were willing to pay was not a delay, but happiness.
When Qin Ye's class was promoted to the fifth grade, she asked the students to write their dreams and post them on the blackboard at the back of the classroom. This time Zhou Jichen finally did not leave a blank. He gave Qin Ye face and wrote the four big words "World Peace" on his dream card.
Speaking of which, Zhou Jichen's dream is the greatest among all the students in the class.
However, compared with their dreams in the second grade, their dreams in the fifth grade are more mature and more independent.
Dreams are really something that can be changed at will. A person can have countless small dreams, or two or three big dreams. As long as it is something that one yearns for and desires to achieve, it can be called a dream. Zhou Jichen said this to Qin Ye. When he said this, he proudly pointed to the "World Peace" he had posted on the blackboard and added, "But I am a very dedicated person. I have always hoped for world peace."
Qin Ye rolled his eyes at him and decided to ignore him.
Zhou Jichen has been in good spirits these days. He has gradually become friends with his classmates. This kind of Zhou Jichen makes Qin Ye almost forget the discord between him and his parents.
It was not until that rainy afternoon that Qin Ye waited until all the students were picked up by their parents that she opened the big black umbrella and prepared to leave the school.
Qin Ye made herself a dinner after returning to her small duplex. After dinner, she curled up on the lazy sofa to read a book, but before she had read a few pages, Zhou's mother called. On the phone, Zhou's mother asked anxiously: "Teacher Qin, is Chenchen with you?"
"Didn't Zhou Jichen go back with you?" Qin Ye sat up and asked curiously.
When Zhou's mother heard this, she panicked: "Oh my God! Where did Chenchen go? When I came to pick him up today, we had a little argument and he ran away in anger. I thought he would come back like he did before, but he hasn't come back yet!"
"Mother Zhou, don't panic. Tell me, where did you have the argument?" Qin Ye looked at his watch. It was already half past eight.
"It was below the Shizun Internet Cafe on Hongjun Road. When I drove there, Chenchen suddenly asked me to stop the car, slammed the door and left. He didn't even take an umbrella with him!"
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look, don't panic." Qin Ye said, and quickly called Su Yuwei and his friends who were free.
Qin Ye and others rushed to the bottom of Shizun Internet Cafe to meet Zhou's father and mother, and then they separated and searched with Shizun Internet Cafe as the center.
Su Yuwei and Qin Ye were in a group. When they had been walking in the streets of Ancheng for nearly an hour in the wind and rain, Juzi suddenly called and said in horror: "Xiaoye! It's bad! I posted Zhou Jichen's photo on WeChat Moments, and a friend told me that she saw him in Jufu Jewelry Store more than ten minutes ago..." Juzi's voice became trembling, "She said that Zhou Jichen was choosing a chain at that place, and then met two people who were robbing with knives. Zhou Jichen was taken hostage, and the two people drove a truck to Nanfeng Road!"
What……
Got robbed?
Qin Ye's lips felt cold. She trembled as she grasped Su Yuwei's fingers and said anxiously, "Su Yuwei, what should we do... Zhou Jichen is in danger!"
Qin Ye told Su Yuwei exactly what Juzi had said. Su Yuwei was shocked and quickly called the police station to confirm. The police station said that they had received a report and were sending police to Nanfeng Road to chase the suspect.
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look too. Don't tell Zhou Jichen's mother about this yet!" Su Yuwei patted Qin Ye's head gently and turned to leave. Qin Ye grabbed him and said worriedly, "I'll go with you. I'm worried!"
"It will be very dangerous for you to come with me." Su Yuwei frowned.
"But I would also be worried if you go alone. Zhou Jichen is my student, I can't just sit there and watch." Qin Ye started to cry as she spoke, and she promised to be obedient and not put herself in danger.
Su Yuwei pondered for a moment and took Qin Ye into his off-road vehicle.
The wipers kept shaking in front of the car. Su Yuwei forced himself to calm down and said, "The current weather will cause some trouble for the police. Two robbers with a hostage will definitely not take the main road." As he said, he turned on the navigation, "The main roads are monitored. If I were a robber, I would definitely stay away from the city. When I reach the blind spot of the surveillance, I would abandon the car and choose other ways to escape."
Qin Ye glanced at the back seat of the car worriedly and asked, "Do we have weapons for self-defense?"
Su Yuwei laughed at Qin Ye's nervousness. His eyebrows were firm. He took out a hand and pounded his solid chest, saying, "Do you think that my years in the army were in vain?"
Su Yuwei gave Qin Ye a reassurance. Qin Ye let out a breath and clenched his hands into fists.
Su Yuwei's SUV drove more than 20 kilometers and saw a truck with its turn signal on but no one was driving it. He quickly got out of the car and touched the seat, which was still warm. He thought the robbers had not gone far with Zhou Jichen.
Qin Ye turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone and saw a series of messy footsteps on the ground and traces of motorcycle wheels extending to the end of the darkness.
"Su Yuwei, they ran over there." Qin Ye pointed in the direction of the motorcycle wheel marks and shouted to Su Yuwei.
It was a small road leading to the countryside, and no vehicles other than two-wheeled vehicles could pass. Su Yuwei grabbed Qin Ye's hand and led her to the small road.
Qin Ye's heart was pounding with nervousness, but fortunately the warmth of Su Yuwei's palm gave her courage.
After walking along the path for more than ten minutes, they finally found a small mud house with a light on. Qin Ye followed Su Yuwei and stuck to the wall of the mud house, listening to the movement inside. Two men, one fat and one thin, sat inside. While dividing the stolen jewelry, they looked at Zhou Jichen who was tied up next to them and discussed with him: "This kid is so young and still staying in the jewelry store. It seems that his family is quite rich. Should we call his family to see how much we can get?"
Su Yuwei and Qin Ye looked at each other and confirmed that the people inside were robbers.
Su Yuwei looked around, found a sturdy wooden stick, turned back and whispered to Qin Ye: "Stay here and don't move."
After saying that, he walked to the door of the house holding a wooden stick and knocked on it.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, the two robbers held their breath and looked outside vigilantly.
"Could it be the police?" asked one of the fatter robbers puzzledly.
"It can't be the police. It's raining, the police won't find this place so quickly. I'll go out and take a look." The thin robber walked to the door with a dagger in his hand, opened the door carefully, and looked outside through the gap, but there was nothing outside.
The thin robber stuck half of his head out to look outside again, and the fat robber became more cautious and shouted, "Second brother, be careful!"
The thin robber turned around and smiled and greeted the fat robber: "It's okay, there's no one here, it might be the wind."
But before he could finish his words, the fat robber saw a stick raised straight up and hit the thin robber's head, and the thin robber fell to the ground. Then, a nimble figure rushed in from outside the door, and before the fat robber could pull out his dagger, he was locked by the throat and pressed to the ground.
Seeing that Su Yuwei had subdued the two people, Qin Ye quickly ran in and tore off the tape on Zhou Jichen's mouth. Zhou Jichen, who was freed, cried and shouted, "Teacher Qin! Save me!"
Qin Ye was untying the rope for Zhou Jichen in a panic, while looking at the fat robber who was pinned to the ground by Su Yuwei.
At this moment, the other robber who should have been knocked unconscious outside the door suddenly stood up, holding his head. Su Yuwei thought something was wrong and turned to Qin Ye and shouted, "Hurry up! Take Zhou Jichen out of the window!"
There was a window behind Zhou Jichen. Qin Ye picked up the stool Zhou Jichen had just sat on, smashed the wooden lattice on the window, and immediately climbed up with Zhou Jichen. Seeing this, the thin robber rushed over to stop them. Fortunately, Qin Ye and Zhou Jichen escaped in time, but at this moment, Su Yuwei was attacked from both sides, facing two robbers alone.
"Su Yuwei——" Qin Ye's voice shrieked outside the window.
Su Yuwei shouted: "Go!"
As he spoke, he took a wooden stick and fought with two men holding daggers. After the fat robber was freed, he said to the thin robber, "Go out and catch those two men." Upon hearing this, the thin robber immediately climbed onto the windowsill. Qin Ye, who was waiting for Su Yuwei outside the window, saw this and immediately pulled Zhou Jichen away. Su Yuwei failed to stop the thin robber and was flipped over by him.
He was worried that Qin Ye would be in danger, so he chased after him immediately, regardless of the fact that there was another person behind him. The fat robber grabbed Su Yuwei's legs when he was halfway up, pulled him down, and stabbed Su Yuwei with a dagger. Su Yuwei held the robber's hand and used his strength to stop his dagger from falling.
In the darkness outside the house, the thin robber was chasing Qin Ye and Zhou Jichen relentlessly. Zhou Jichen was crying as he ran. Qin Ye looked back frequently, watching the robber getting closer and closer to him. At this moment, a siren pierced the night sky. The thin robber's legs went weak and he stood there, not knowing what to do.
The police are here.
The police are coming! The thin robber turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Brother! The police are coming!"
Hearing the shouts of his companions and the approaching sirens, the fat robber gave up on Su Yuwei and planned to evacuate quickly with the stolen jewelry. However, Su Yuwei, who had served in the army for several years, had a sense of mission and could not let him go. Su Yuwei pounced on the fat robber, holding his head with one hand and grabbing his legs with the other hand. Su Yuwei rode on him, making him unable to move.
At this time, the thin robber climbed back through the window, and seeing this scene, he rushed to help his eldest brother without saying a word. Su Yuwei had to free up one hand to deal with the thin robber, but just when he was fighting two alone, the fat robber turned over, grabbed the dagger on the ground and stabbed Su Yuwei in the waist.
Su Yuwei fell to the ground in pain, and the fat robber and the thin robber took the opportunity to evacuate with the jewelry.
Su Yuwei lay on the ground, unable to move. He covered the wound with his hand and felt a fishy and hot temperature slowly rising up from there. He gritted his teeth and his lips turned pale instantly.
When the police arrived, Qin Ye handed Zhou Jichen to them. She ran back to the small house worriedly, only to find Su Yuwei lying on the ground with a pale face.
"Su Yuwei!" She stumbled over and knelt beside him, and saw horrible blood oozing out from the gaps between his fingers as he covered the wound. Qin Ye was horrified and quickly took off his coat and rolled it into a ball to cover Su Yuwei's wound.
Tears suddenly flowed down, and Qin Ye cried out in a lost voice: "Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen! I beg you, Su Yuwei... someone come! Someone come!" Qin Ye screamed uncontrollably, "Help! Help——"
Su Yuwei was trembling all over, his face was covered with cold sweat, he wanted to reach out to pull Qin Ye, but he really didn't have the strength to speak. Seeing Su Yuwei's breath getting weaker and weaker, his blurred eyes slowly closed, Qin Ye's heart also sank into deep darkness.
That night, Qin Ye was pulled up by others as if she had lost her soul, and then watched Su Yuwei being carried into the car. The sirens of the police car and the ringing of the ambulance in the dark night echoed in her mind, and there was only one picture in her mind: Su Yuwei's lips opened and closed as he tried to speak, but finally gave up helplessly, and his dark eyes looking at her also lost their color.
In the hospital, Su Yuwei was sent to the emergency room. Qin Ye squatted in the aisle, trembling as he hugged himself. Fatty from the Orange Forest, Zhang Ao, and Shan Xiaotian were beside her. They were all trying to comfort her, but such comfort was of no use.
In another clinic, Zhou Jichen walked out in shock. Mother Zhou went up to him and scolded him anxiously and fearfully: "You ignorant child! How can you be so ignorant! No matter what, you can't just crash and leave! How will your mother live if something happens to you?" As she spoke, Mother Zhou started to cry.
Zhou Jichen threw himself into his mother's arms, his eyes filled with tears of regret.
Zhou Jichen quarreled with his mother because it was his mother's birthday the next day. Zhou Jichen wanted to spend her birthday with her, but she had to fly to Singapore in the early morning for work. Zhou Jichen asked her if she could not go. Her mother then told him many truths and asked him to be more sensible. Zhou Jichen was so angry that he slammed the door and left. But he regretted it soon after he left. His mother was leaving in the early morning, but he still wanted to be angry with her. So Zhou Jichen wanted to go to Jufu Jewelry to use his own New Year's money to save money to choose a piece of jewelry that his mother liked, and give it to her before she left.
But he never expected to encounter robbers, and Su Yu's life was in danger.
Zhou Jichen walked up to Qin Ye and said guiltily, "Teacher Qin... I'm sorry."
Qin Ye didn't answer him. She hugged her head, put her fingers into her hair, and grabbed her hair tightly.
Now, as long as Su Yuwei is safe and sound, that's enough.
The big clock hanging on the wall of the corridor was ticking away, and time seemed like a long and endless vortex, swallowing Qin Ye's heart bit by bit.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Ye buried her head in her knees, her eyes wet and covered with tears. Ju Zi patted her shoulders anxiously and shouted, "Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye!"
Qin Ye raised his head and saw the door of the emergency room opened. The doctor came out and took off his mask: "Family of the patient."
Qin Ye quickly stood up and walked over with mixed feelings.
The doctor said, "The patient is out of danger. He needs to be sent to the nursing room. Please follow me to complete the admission procedures."
The doctor's words were like a knife, cutting the string that was hanging on Qin Ye's heart. Now, the stone finally fell to the ground.
Qin Ye covered his face, wiped away his tears excitedly, and looked at the doctor: "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Sister Qin Ye, I'll accompany you." Shan Xiaotian followed Qin Ye to go through the hospitalization procedures. Juzi, Fatty Lin and Zhang Ao helped push the unconscious Su Yuwei into the nursing room.
Fortunately, there was no major disaster.
Dan Xiaotian, who followed Qin Ye to pay the fee, comforted Qin Ye and said, "You see, Su Yuwei is blessed with a good life, right? Sister Qin Ye, don't worry, the two robbers have been caught, and they will be punished."
"These are not important." Qin Ye shook his head, took a long breath, and said, "It's good as long as he is okay."
Because you have always been by my side, I have never thought about losing you.
If something really happened to Su Yuwei this time, Qin Ye didn't know what would become of him.
Shan Xiaotian pursed his lips slightly and glanced at Qin Ye secretly. His heart was slightly moved and he said, "I envy Su Yuwei's position in my heart. It must be something that no one can reach."
Qin Ye had no intention of trying to figure out what Shan Xiaotian meant. She folded the hospital admission form and put it in her bag, saying, "I'll go see him."
As she said that, she walked towards the ward. Dan Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh behind her. Finally, he sighed softly and followed her.
In the ward, Su Yuwei was sleeping soundly, his face ashen.
Qin Ye moved a chair to the bedside and sat down, staring at Su Yuwei intently. Seeing this, Zhang Ao signaled everyone to leave first and leave the space for the two of them.
After everyone left, Juzi said, "You all go back and rest. I'll stay outside with Xiaoye."
"I'll accompany you." Fatty Lin said, "Su Yuwei is also my best brother, I'm worried."
"Then let's go back first." Zhang Ao said to Shan Xiaotian, who turned around absentmindedly and walked to the end of the hospital corridor. Then, only Fatty Lin and Juzi were left in the corridor. They sat on the chairs in the corridor, and Fatty Lin put his coat on Juzi.
In the ward, Qin Ye helped Su Yuwei straighten the quilt and gently stroked his brow.
When he was sleeping quietly in front of her, Qin Ye recalled how his facial features had grown from immature to mature, and she was surprised to realize that she had known him for so long. Thinking of the sixteen-year-old Su Yuwei with the rebelliousness of a rebellious child and the immaturity underneath, she couldn't help but curl her lips.
Sixteen years old, it’s almost ten years now.
Qin Ye's fingers trembled involuntarily. It has been ten years. It has been ten years.
"Su Yuwei, we have known each other for ten years." Qin Ye leaned forward slightly, talking to him while he was sleeping with a smile, "I don't know why, but I have so many things to say to you now. Although the years when you went to the army have become a blank for me, I still have endless things to tell you. I will tell you a little bit every day when I come to see you. I hope you can wake up soon."
The night outside the house seemed even darker. Fatty Lin and Juzi snuggled on the bench and gradually fell asleep. Qin Ye propped up her chin, her eyelids fighting each other. She was afraid to sleep, in case Su Yuwei woke up and needed something, she would not be able to find out in time. Finally, in the morning, when Fatty Lin came in, he saw Qin Ye yawning tiredly with dark circles under his eyes.
"You didn't sleep all night?" Fatty Lin asked in surprise.
"I dare not sleep."
"Oh my god, go back and get some sleep. Leave this to me. If you're worried, you can go back to sleep first." Fatty Lin was afraid that Qin Ye would collapse before Su Yuwei woke up, so he quickly pushed her out the door, shouting, "Juzi Juzi, get up and send Xiaoye home to rest."
Juzi woke up dazedly and supported Qin Ye obediently. Qin Ye thought that he was really tired, so he did not refuse.
After Orange sent her back, she took a nap and hurried to the hospital again.
She had promised Su Yuwei that she would tell him a little about their past every day.
She told him: "In the beginning, when Teacher Yang asked me to supervise your studies, I was very reluctant because I didn't know how to approach someone I didn't know, and this person was you... But now I should thank Teacher Yang. If it weren't for her, how could I have walked into your life..."
She also told him: "In fact, no one knows how much I missed you during those years when you were in the army. I only received ten letters you sent me without addresses. I read them back and forth for many years, hoping that you could send me another letter..."
Dear Su Yuwei, I never dared to imagine that my past was full of you. So please wake up soon so that I can tell you that I like you, too.
Qin Ye took five days off from school and talked to Su Yuwei for five days.
Five days later, she had to go back to school, and she had less time to visit Su Yuwei.
Qin Ye handed everything over to Fatty Lin and hurried back to school.
In the ward, Fatty Lin stretched out his hand and twisted Su Yuwei's thigh. Su Yuwei sat up in pain. Fatty Lin glared at Su Yuwei: "Still pretending? You've been pretending for five days!"
"Fatty Lin, I'm a patient." Su Yuwei rubbed his thigh which was pinched and hurt, complaining.
He actually woke up on the first night, but he refused to wake up when he heard Qin Ye talking in a daze. Because Su Yuwei wanted to hear those words for a long time, this time he finally had the chance to hear Qin Ye say it, how could he ruin it?
"How long are you going to hide this from Qin Ye, you little bastard?" Fatty Lin sat on the hospital bed, put his arm around Su Yuwei's shoulders, and stared at him with a wicked smile.
"Until she admits that she likes me. She must like me because she remembers the past better than I do." Su Yuwei said proudly.
Fatty Lin punched Su Yuwei in the chest: "I'm telling you, don't overdo it!"
"I know, I know my limits, brother." Su Yuwei laughed. Hearing Qin Ye say these words, it was worth it for him to be injured this time.
But if you play like this, you will always go too far.
Qin Ye had not visited Su Yuwei for three days because of the monthly exam at school. When she finally finished her work and rushed to the hospital, she overheard the nurses' conversation.
"Who was just sent to the morgue?"
"That boy in 302, I heard he couldn't hold on for a few days, so pitiful."
A boy from Room 302? Qin Ye's heart tightened. Isn't Room 302 Su Yuwei's ward? Qin Ye hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly stepped on his high heels and ran to Room 302, but there was no one in the ward.
Could it really be Su Yuwei? But didn't the doctor say that Su Yuwei was out of danger? How could it be...
Qin Ye's mind went blank, and she became nervous. She rushed over and grabbed the nurse she had just talked to and asked, "Excuse me, has the boy in ward 302 really been sent to the morgue? Isn't he no longer in danger of death?"
"His life was no longer in danger, but for some reason he suddenly relapsed last night. What a pity." The nurse sighed and turned around to go about her own business.
Qin Ye was stunned. How could it be possible? Last night... She hadn't come to see him for three days. How could such an accident happen? A tear instantly flowed down, pulling Qin Ye back from his trance.
She turned around and ran towards the elevator. She would never believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes.
Just as he ran over, Qin Ye suddenly bumped into a figure coming out of the bathroom. The figure took a step back and shouted, "Who is so blind to mess around in the hospital..."
"Chaos" came to his mouth and he was suddenly speechless.
Qin Ye stood firm, only to find that the people he collided with were Su Yuwei and Fatty Lin!
"Qin Xiaoye!"
"Qin Ye!"
Su Yuwei and Fatty Lin looked at each other, it was over.
Qin Ye stared at Su Yuwei in a daze, not recovering from his shock. Su Yuwei stepped back in fear, waving his hands and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I... I didn't mean to lie to you! I... Oops!"
"Su Yuwei..." Qin Ye's facial features were tightened, his eyes were filled with tears, and he called her in a soft sobbing voice.
What's wrong? Su Yuwei was stunned. Something was wrong.
Qin Ye suddenly burst into tears. She threw herself into Su Yuwei's arms and said in a muffled voice, "You scared me. They said the patient in Room 302 was sent to the morgue. I thought it was you. I didn't know what to do... You're okay... I'm so glad you're okay... I have so many things I didn't have time to say to you. I thought I would never have the chance to see you again..."
Qin Ye's hug caught Su Yuwei off guard. His heart seemed to be hit hard by her. He felt sorry for her, so how could he bear to leave her?
Fatty Lin knew he was just a light bulb, so he tiptoed away.
Su Yuwei wrapped his arms around Qin Ye tightly, holding her in his arms. He stroked her soft hair and said with a smile, "Silly girl, the patient who was sent to the morgue was just admitted yesterday. Don't cry, we still have so much time, you can still say whatever you want to say. Whatever you want to say, I'll listen, okay?"
Qin Ye hid in Su Yuwei's arms and rubbed his eyes. He raised his head and said like a child, "I don't want to talk about it! You obviously woke up a long time ago but you didn't tell me, making me worry for nothing."
"If I tell you, will I be able to hear what's in your heart and see how worried you are about me?" Su Yuwei said helplessly.
Qin Ye broke free from Su Yuwei's arms and left with his hands in his pockets in angrily. She didn't care, it was Su Yuwei's fault.
Su Yuwei hurriedly followed behind Qin Ye and said as he walked: "Hey, Qin Xiaoye, wait for me. I'm a patient, you have to support me."
"Go on your own!"
"Hey, Qin Xiaoye, you were so worried about me just now, do you like me?"
"Shut up! I'm so annoyed." Qin Ye became more and more embarrassed and quickened his pace.
"Oh, I was wrong, Qin Xiaoye, please wait for me."
"You are right. What's your fault?"
Qin Ye walked faster and faster, and Su Yuwei followed her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, chasing the figure that he had loved for his entire youth.
But... Su Yuwei looked at Qin Ye's back with a smile in his eyes. It was great, that year was the tenth year they knew each other.
In the tenth year, he liked her, and she liked him too.
